This is your reminder that AbeBooks is owned by Amazon. For used books that don’t support dystopian capitalism, go to https://biblio.com.

Alibris https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alibris is also independently owned, and a good alternative, but I appreciate Biblio’s values https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblio.com. Plus, you can join their club https://www.biblio.com/bibliophiles-club and get 10% off all purchases.

@alan
I'm not a seller, but I've bought a lot of books at #Alibris. It's easy to find what I'm looking for, and I haven't had any problems.
I haven't tried #Biblio.
I stopped buying from #AbeBooks because they're owned by #Amazon

I need to downsize my library and I'm getting ready to sell a ton of my #cartography book collection. I'm looking at both #Alibris and #Biblio as good options. Does anyone have any experience using either platform and any recommendations for either one? I'm also looking at #AbeBooks but none of my stuff is really that old or rare, and AbeBooks seems to have higher fees than the other two.
